Bath ball structure with flower pattern

ABSTRACT

Bath ball structure with flower pattern, including a bathing body and a string. The bathing body is made of plastic membrane and has an elongated length and a certain width. A number of through holes are evenly distributed over the surface of the plastic membrane with one face having a projection, while the other face having a corresponding recess, whereby the surface of the bathing body serves as a cleaning face with good cleaning effect. Two long sides of the bathing boy are equally inward folded to overlap a substantially middle portion and then thermally fused with the middle portion to form two thermal fusion seams defining therein a hollow section. The bathing body is small section by small section repeatedly folded back and forth to form a semiproduct of the bath ball having multiple crimps. The string is tied and fixed at the center of the semiproduct, after released from hand, the semiproduct automatically resiliently stretches outward to form the bath ball with flower pattern.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention is related to a bath ball structure withflower pattern. The bath ball structure is very soft so that when a userbrushes his/her body with the bath ball, the user will not feel painfuland the skin of the user is not subject to scrape. The bath ball is ableto provide a certain frictional force sufficient to clean the user'sbody. After tied by a string, the bath ball naturally has a form of aflower.

[0002]FIG. 1 shows a conventional bath ball composed of severalelongated mesh tubes 11 wrapping and overlapping each other layer bylayer. The mesh tubes 11 are tied by a string 12 to have a form of aball. The string 12 facilitates taking the bath ball when used andhanging the bath ball when not used.

[0003] The above bath ball has some shortcomings as follows:

[0004] 1. The mesh tubes 11 are rough so that the bath ball made of suchmesh tubes 11 is quite rough. When a user brushes his/her body with thebath ball, the user often feels uncomfortable or painful and the skin ofthe user is subject to scrape.

[0005] 2. The bath ball made of the elongated mesh tubes 11 simply has amonotonous spherical pattern. Therefore, such bath ball can hardlyexpedite the purchase desire of the consumers.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0006] It is therefore a primary object of the present invention toprovide a bath ball structure with flower pattern, in which the bathingbody of the bath ball is made of plastic membrane so that it is verysoft and when a user brushes his/her body with the bath ball, the userwill not feel uncomfortable or painful and the skin of the user is notsubject to scrape.

[0007] It is a further object of the present invention to provide theabove bath ball structure in which a number of through holes aredistributed over the surface of the bath ball to form a cleaning face.Therefore, the bath ball is soft, while providing sufficient frictionalforce against the skin of the user for effectively cleaning the body ofthe user.

[0008] It is still a further object of the present invention to providethe above bath ball structure in which after tied, the hollow sectionsof the bathing body will automatically resiliently stretch and expandoutward to form a spongy and solid pattern and a beautiful appearance toexpedite purchase desire of consumers. In addition, the user can morecomfortably wipe his/her body with the bath ball.

[0009] The present invention can be best understood through thefollowing description and accompanying drawings wherein:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0017] Please refer to FIG. 2. The bath ball structure of the presentinvention includes a bathing body 20 and a string 30 with a certainlength and diameter. The bathing body 20 is made of one or more than oneplastic membrane and has an elongated length and a certain width. Theplastic membranes are tidily stacked. A number of through holes 21 areevenly distributed over each plastic membrane. One face of the throughhole 21 has a projection, while the other face thereof has acorresponding recess. Therefore, the surface of the bathing body 20 hasa cleaning face with good cleaning effect. Two long sides of the bathingbody 20 are equally inward folded to overlap a portion near the middleportion of the bathing body 20. Thereafter, the folded end sections arethermally fused with the portion near the middle portion to form twothermal fusion seams 23 for preliminary location. The folded sections ofthe long sides define therein a hollow section 24.

[0018]FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in whichthe two long sides of the bathing body 20 are alternatively equallyinward folded to right overlap the middle portion of the bathing body 20with the ends of the long sides flushly matching with each other.Thereafter, the folded end sections are thermally fused with the middleportion to form two thermal fusion seams 23. The folded sections of thelong sides define therein a hollow section 24.

[0019]FIG. 4 shows still another embodiment of the present invention, inwhich the two long sides of the bathing body 20 are alternativelyequally inward folded to overlap a portion exceeding the middle portionof the bathing body 20. The end sections of the long sides overlap eachother. Thereafter, the middle of the overlapping sections is thermallyfused with the middle portion of the bathing body 20 to form a thermalfusion seam 23. The folded sections of the long sides define therein ahollow section 24.

[0020] When assembled, as shown in FIG. 5, the bathing body 20 is smallsection by small section repeatedly folded back and forth to form asemiproduct 1 of the bath ball having multiple crimps. Then, the string30 is tied and fixed around the center of the semiproduct 1.Alternatively, the string 30 is passed through the center of thesemiproduct 1 and wound and tied thereon as shown in FIG. 6. Afterreleased from hand, the semiproduct 1 will automatically resilientlystretch outward to form the bath ball in form of a flower as shown inFIG. 7. The string 30 facilitates taking the bath ball when used andhanging the bath ball when not used.

[0021] The bath ball of the present invention has the followingadvantages:

[0022] 1. The bathing body 20 of the bath ball 2 is made of plasticmembrane so that it is very soft and when a user brushes his/her bodywith the bath ball 2, the user will not feel uncomfortable or painfuland the skin of the user is not subject to scrape.

[0023] 2. A number of through holes 21 are distributed over the surfaceof the bath ball 2 to form a cleaning face 22. Therefore, the bath ball2 is soft, while providing sufficient frictional force against the skinof the user for effectively cleaning the body of the user.

[0024] 3. After tied, the hollow sections 24 of the bathing body 20 willautomatically resiliently stretch and expand outward to form a spongyand solid pattern and a beautiful appearance to expedite purchase desireof consumers. In addition, the user can more comfortably wipe his/herbody with the bath ball.

[0025] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the presentinvention, not intended to limit the scope thereof. Many modificationsof the above embodiments can be made without departing from the spiritof the present invention.
